emptiness-wickedness

Rootאון (ʾ-w-n)
Core Meaningsemptiness, nothingness, vanity, trouble, wickedness, harmful exertion
Semantic Rangevanity, nothingness, futility, trouble, sorrow, mischief, injustice, wickedness, idolatry (as empty worship)
Conceptual Significanceאָוֶן highlights the biblical understanding that wickedness is not merely wrongdoing but a hollow, destructive emptiness opposed to YHWH’s life-giving order. It often characterizes idolatry and injustice as futile and morally void, exposing their ultimate nothingness before the covenantal God.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in the absolute state (HNcfsa). No pronominal suffix; denotes an abstract quality or condition.
Rendering RationaleThe noun אָוֶן is a feminine singular absolute form denoting a state or quality. Its root conveys the idea of emptiness or futile exertion that results in trouble or moral corruption. "Emptiness-wickedness" preserves both the sense of moral evil and the underlying concept of hollow, destructive vanity inherent in the root.
